I am looking for some Superman Batman post Crisis on Infinite Earths team ups? Anything from 1985 to the launch of the Superman/Batman title would be appreciated.

There was a 10 part miniseries from 1999 called Batman & Superman: World's Finest, written by Karl Kessel, that explores the first ten years of Batman and Superman's careers. Not to give to much away, I'll just tell you than something happens in the first issue, and in each of the consecutive parts, Batman and Superman get together on the next anniversary of said event. I enjoyed reading this miniseries when it first came out and it has since been collected in trade paperback. Actually, the trade paperback might be out of print now but it shouldn't be too hard to find for a good price on Amazon, eBay, or some other internet site.

There's another World's Finest TPB done by Dave Gibbons and Steve Rude which was pretty nifty.
I also rather enjoyed Superman: Emporer Joker and World's Funnest.

Try looking for "Legends of the World's Finest." This was written by Walter Simonson and painted by Daniel Brereton. It's more of a supernatural take on themselves than what's normally done. IMHO it's got fantastic art and a nice story.

I heartily second the recommendations for the Kesel mini and Gibbons TPB!
I'd add a recommendation for a story called "Dark Knight over Metropolis" that ran in three issues of the Superman books in Jun 1990. Pretty sure this hasn't been collected, but the issues may be available cheaply, especially for reading copies: Superman 44, Adventures of Superman 467, Action Comics 654
Also issue #3 of John Byrne's original Man of Steel mini features Bats.
The first World's Finest mini-series is definitely a fun read and has some great Steve Rude artwork.
It is an Elseworld book, but the first mini-series "Generations" by John Byrne is a good read and story of Superman and Batman. I have not read the two sequels, but I liked the first one.
